Job description

# Art Director

**Location:** Remote (North America) — offices in NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle

About the Role

We're looking for a mid-to-senior art director to partner with a copywriter inside our new and growing in-house creative department. You'll concept and art direct at a high level across brand campaigns, product marketing, advertising, web, social, and events. About 75% of your time you'll develop campaigns and big ideas alongside the copywriter, reporting to the CD. The remaining 25% you'll operate independently on art direction support across the department (including, at times, in product art needs, video treatments, etc.).

This is a hands-on making role with real creative ownership. You won't be filling in templates — you'll be concepting campaigns, generating visuals, shaping the brand look and feel while helping build the creative standard for a rapidly growing company. We don't ideate and hand off. We execute on our own work.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with the copywriter to develop creative concepts and campaigns from brief through execution
  • Art direct across all formats: advertising, brand, web, product, video needs, social, email, event materials, editorial design support
  • Concept campaign ideas — not just mockups, but executions that work across channels
  • Help shape and evolve the brand look and feel
  • Contribute to creative presentations and pitch decks for sales teams
  • Work independently on art direction-driven projects (web, product, editorial) when not paired
  • Give and receive feedback generously — the work gets better through iteration
  • What You'll Need

  • 5-8 years in art direction, with agency experience strongly preferred
  • A portfolio that shows both big conceptual ideas and strong craft across formats
  • Experience working as part of a creative team (writer/AD pairing)
  • Comfort moving fast and across multiple projects simultaneously
  • Experience in brand and product contexts is a plus
  • Someone who is deeply involved in using AI in their work
  • Compensation

    Salary Range: $190,000 - $240,000

    Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team.
